Umpiring of MFC games very questionable

How about the free kick against Frisch in the Goal square, it was a legit mark, kenty barely touched him, incredibly frustrating.

I couldn't work that one out

While the number of free kicks always seem to even up by the end of the game.

What is far important is WHERE THEY ARE PAID.  What I have seen is opposing teams get really easy free kicks in front of goal. That makes a huge difference. I have seen some shockers missed in our square, that hurts.  We often get them where they have little immediate scoring impact, like on the wing or half back.

Genuinely one of the worst decisions I've ever seen.

Wasn’t a comment on the umpiring, was a reply to another comment. Even so I agree that one was laughable. You know it is bad when the commentary team are talking about it a lot.

I watched he replay today and rewound that 4 times trying to identify how that was possibly paid against Kent. Absolutely staggering, I seriously hope the club takes those 4 - 5 examples to the AFL and asks the question. 

Nicholls has been one of the worst offenders against us for years now.

The free against Kent in the goalsquare is the worst free kick I think I've ever seen.

The one against Lever on Goldstein in Q1 is a close second - Lever has his eyes on the ball, turns briefly to see where Goldstein is but then looks back at the ball, and Goldstein proceeds to elbow him in the head. Putrid.

I'd rather have herpes than have Nicholls umpire us again. At least with herpes you can inflict it on somebody who makes bad decisions.

And as for frees that went unpaid, there was the blatant hold/push in the back on Petracca in the fourth. Insane.

I think I was at the end of the third quarter just after the non-paid Fritsch mark commentators Jono Brown said "it's really not the umpires day", whereas Eddie said "I better not say anything, in case I same something" (along those lines anyway). Roosy was also frustrated, but he of course was biased.

I felt the umpires screwed us over severely. It seemed to ease up in the final 10 min when the game was no longer in the balance.

Love Johnno Brown. He's so into the Dees at the mo I wouldnt be surprised if we were his team as a kid. To Eddie saying that he said:

"I'll say it for you..." thought he was gonna unload but reigned himself in.
